PRA PRCD

This is the most common cause of retinal atrophy in many breeds of dog. It is a later onset disease. Most affected dogs do not show signs of vision loss until after four years of age, although an ophthalmology exam may show earlier indications of disease. The PRCD form of PRA is inherited as a recessive trait, meaning carriers show no signs of the disease. Carriers may be maintained in a breeding program but care should be used to never pair them with another carrier when planning a litter.

Result types: clear, carrier, affected
